During the second season of the WNY Young Writers' Studio, a variety of new writers and teachers joined our community. We played with digital forms of writing, and many of us either began or deepened our work as bloggers. This was the year that we began contemplating how we might use our words to make a real difference in the world, and kids began assuming greater responsibility for facilitating learning. We sank ourselves deeper into the study of the Dispositions that year, and I think we emerged from that experience with a profound understanding of their complexity. This shifted the way we approached our work with the Dispositions in future sessions and seasons.
